It has been too long Since I’ve seen your smiling Good Morning my love.

Today is harder than I thought it would be, yet I rise, and fight on.

No dawn today. Darkness across the landscape, And my broken heart.

We both abide by a code. Mine is bushido. Yours is libido. Hence our separate roads.

Darkness falls across the land. Will no one light the lamps As of old?

The path of most resistance Is the way to excellence.

I will hold the line.

I resole my old cowboy boots. You buy fashionable new heels. We are not alike, but I would walk you on my red carpet.

You have fled to limitless hedonism While I self imposed authoritarianism. You a taker I a maker. Your external needs drive you away My internal guide forces me to stay. Yin and Yang, ever dancing Twin souls, ever romancing. Negative Positive Explosive.

I’m the runner, but you run away. I’m the fighter, but you fight each day. I’m the lover, but you hold sway. I’m the stayer, but you lie and play.
